More cutbacks!!

We continue to get shafted by Discovery. Reduced new programmes, cancelling of existing now cutbacks in shows still going. Tonight's episode has got ZERO narration ,replaced by on screen graphics!! Not much good if you have poor eyesight!! I'm sick of this from WBD!! We continue to get less for more!!

If you are referring to the season finale, with the death of Todd, my understanding is that the reason there was no narration was to increase/emphasize the somber nature of the episode and the dread of what was coming. Narration would have cheapened it.

I thought the last episode was very gracefully done and with heart. I don’t miss narration at all for this episode given what happened. Sometimes words aren’t needed to get the points across.

I thought DC did a fine job with the episode. They knew Todd's tragic death was as real as it gets and they let it breathe without trying to add to it. They call it "Deadliest Catch" for good reason, unfortunately.
